No Excuse For Lovin' You

I ain’t got no excuse love, For lovin’ you, The way I do, And no excuse For actin’ like that, And this is me on my knees, Yellin’ Love, take me back!

‘Member love, Sitting on my tailgate, Over lookin’ that flowin’ straight, Down behind the trees, An’ listenin’ to that summer breeze?

Or seeing that Ferris wheel down at the fair, And you beggin’ me, And somehow, I was in that ride chair, And saw that summer wind flapping in your hair?

I ain’t got no excuse love, For lovin’ you, The way I do, And I only pray, You’ll love me too.

‘Member that time love, When you fell into grandma’s creek, Trying to chase me from across the street? And we spent the next hour, Lookin’ for your favorite ring, Until the sunset birds started to sing?

Love I’m gonna make some mistakes, An’ I’mma say some things I’ll regret, But Love I’ll do whatever it takes, To put a smile on your face.

I ain’t got no excuse love, For lovin’ you, The way I do,

But a man can only hope, That sometime we’ll get past our love joke, And I’ll ask you, Will you love me forever too?
